Hi! Thanks' for the fast answer.

The first problem was, that there is no description to create visible/invisible Signatures with pdfbox. > The InputStream for the visualization expect a prepaired pdf with a > bunch of dictionaries.

I don´t think that a table is necessary for this. Kind Regards Stefan
